Review of St. Elmo's Fire (1985) by Scott M — 12 Jan 2012
In this engaging offering, the popular Sesame Street star plays a wealthy philanthropist who opens a much-needed orphanage deep in the worst end of the Bronx. In a graceful gesture, the children give their furry benefactor the nickname, "St.
Elmo," only to turn on him when their new home mysteriously burns to the ground, (hence the title of the movie). Did Elmo set the fire for the insurance money, or is someone trying to frame him? A dejected Elmo must go on the lam to clear his name, and while this is clearly the most "adult" of the Elmo features, the entire family should enjoy this entertaining hybrid of "The Muppet Movie" and "The Fugitive.
".
